This recording is definetly an improvement to the other bootleg I own from this concert. Sound is much more crisp and clear. Audience noise is a factor because clapping and some whistling is audible also during the songs. But it is only a background noise and never drowns out the music. Also, a good portion of echo due to the venue's acoustic is audible. But the extraordinary setlist makes up for all of that. Note the premiere of starting the concert with Hendrix' "Star Spangeled Banner/Bullet". The band seems to enjoy the concert and is in a playful mood as the bootleg's title indicates citing Bono.
